Nantes [English translation]

It's raining in nantes

Give me your and

Nantes' sky

Makes my heart grieve

A morning like this one

It's only a year again

The town had this dyed pale look

When I leave for the train station

Nantes again did not know me

I had never come there

It had needed this message

Because I'm going on a journey

"Madame, go to the rendez-vous point

At the intersection of 25th street and Grange-au-Loup

Go quickly, there is little hope

He asked to see you."

At the time of her last hour

After truly years of wandering

He re-found me with a full heart

His cry broke the silence

Since he had good

For a long time, I had hoped

For this wanderer, this disappered

Here! he had re-found me

The intersection of 25th Street with Grange-au-Loup

I remember the rendez-vous

And I engraved it in my memory

This room at the end of a corridor

Sat near to a chimney

I saw four men get up

The light was cold and white

They wore their Sunday best

I didn't ask any questions

To these strange companions

I said nothing, but from their looks,

I understood that it was too late

Though I was at the rendez-vous

The intersection of 25th Street with Grange-au-Loup

But he never returned to me

He had again disappeared

Here, you know the story

He had returned one evening

And this was his last journey

And this was his last shore

He wanted before to die

To re-warm himself with my laugh

But he died on the same night

Without a goodbye, without an 'I love you"

On the path which follows the sea

He sat in the garden of stones

I want the tranquility, he rests

I slept there among the roses

My father, my father

It's raining in Nantes

And I remember

Nantes' sky

Makes my heart grieve
